Some things are in the right place at the

right time in the right amount, and that

perfectly describes the new

Pilot. Its interior is roomy, comfortable,

totally functional and crafted from the

inside out to let you do more. So you

can adapt it to whatever you have going

on at that moment. Because its versatility

makes it not only a real workhorse,

but also a rugged extension of yourself

when it comes time for fun. So plan

on getting out and doing lots of stuff.

check out life from a fresh angle

For all the ways you use your SUV, Pilot has you

covered. It’s easy to drive and maneuver. Yet it’s

big enough to carry up to 8 people, with theater-

style seating so everyone inside has room and

a great view of the world outside. Got stuff

to pick up later? No problem. It takes mere

seconds to fold the 60/40 split seats down flat

to however you want them.

You never have to remove the seats, so they’re

always there, ready for their next use. You see,

the Pilot was designed for needs you

haven’t even anticipated yet – but soon

will discover, as it opens its doors

and invites you to explore.

Surprise yourself with what you can load. With the second- and third-row seats folded to yield

90.3 cu.ft.of cargo room, you can lay a 4' x 6' sheet of plywood flat on the floor between the Pilot’s

wheelwells.* Other cool cargo-area features include a 12-volt power outlet, cargo hooks and a wide,

one-piece tailgate with cargo light. Got stuff you don’t use all the time or want out of sight?

Put it in the hidden rear storage area, where you can also stow the third-row head restraints.

And if you still need space to carry more, the roof rails on EX models can hold up to 150 lbs.

Stash the essential stuff.You’ll find plenty

of places to do so inside. For example, thirst can

take a hike, as there are nine beverage holders

in the EX, seven in LX. There’s no doubt the front

and rear door storage pockets will prove very

useful on road trips, as will the large, lockable

glove compartment. The cargo nets, found on

the back of the driver’s and front passenger’s

seats, are ideal for stowing maps, magazines,

small toys or electronic gizmos – you name it. And

to power those gizmos and whatnots, there are a

total of four 12-volt power outlets conveniently

located throughout the Pilot’s cabin.

change its dimensionsto match your opportunities

Get into your new living quarters. Life on the road just became a lot more fun and spacious.

With 167.1 cu. ft. of passenger volume,3 there’s seating forup to eight passengers. And they’ll find

those seats very accommodating, as they’re fitted with a soft yet durable fabric. Supple, leather-trimmed

front and second-row seats and door-panel inserts are available on EX models. And in all Honda Pilots,

the 60/40 split second- and third-row seats can be folded down flat and quickly reconfigured

to suit your needs. So after you drop off the kid’s sports team, you won’t have to pass up that

garage-sale bargain. Power windows, mirrors and door locks add real convenience, as do the

steering wheel-mounted cruise control switches. EX models add a set of audio controls there, too.

Dual illuminated vanity mirrors are always welcome, as are the flip-down sunglasses holder and the

EX’s HomeLinkR remote system controls.

*Honda reminds you to properly secure items stored in the cargo area.

Do you prefer Bach, or rock? Either way,

the Pilot’s stereo serves up the tunes you love to

hear. The LX has a 120-watt, AM/FM stereo CD

player with 4 speakers. And the EX model features

a booming 155-watt, AM/FM stereo cassette

with in-dash CD player and seven speakers,

including a powerful subwoofer. So bring all your

favorites, because Pilot loves a good, long drive

with a great soundtrack.

Create two climates within one SUV. Some like it hot. Others like it cold. But everyone likes it just right for them. Now

all the passengers in your Pilot LX can be comfortable using its front and rear climate control system. With separate front

and rear controls, you and your rear passengers can enjoy different comfort settings. To help everyone breathe easier, the micron

air-filtration system traps errant dust and pollen particles and prevents them from circulating within the cabin. All EX models have

a front and rear synchronized automatic climate control system. Set the climate setting once and this patented system

automatically maintains it. Or the second-row passengers can use the separate rear control to manually adjust the temperature

setting for their own area, thus assuring everyone’s happiness.

Information has a fresh, new face.

The very distinctive, chronograph-styled

instrument panel features white-on-black

analog gauges. Red needles and displays

make the gauges easy to read, day or night.

A tachometer and dual trip meters are standard,

and an engine coolant temperature gauge

completes the array.

Ingenuity you can rest your arm on. Comfort is good, but under the padded armrest is

what really makes this center console happen. There you’ll find a clever organizer design, with a storage

well large enough to hold up to 13 CD cases and a coin holder that lets you sort and hold

change by size. For 12-volt electrical items, there’s a power outlet at the bottom of the well and another

on the back of the console for the second-row passengers’ use. The innovative phone cradle folds

down to reveal a pen clip, a business-card holder and a handy sleeve to secure your cell phone.*

The lower part of the console has a sliding cover for security and two beverage holders that can be

moved forward, letting you use the holders and phone cradle at the same time.

It’s the little things that count. When you’re out and about, things that seem small may

have a major impact on the overall comfort of your journey. Take map lights, for example: There’s a

pair in front, something you’d expect. But there are four more grab rails with integrated map

lights for the second- and third-row passengers’ use. With EX models, there’s a driver’s seat with

8-way power adjustment and a second-row fold-down activity tray. Kids can use this tray to

rest their coloring books on and to hold two beverages. And when finished, they can store their

crayons and books in the tray and fold them securely away.

*Drive responsibly. State laws prohibit distracted driving.

The longer it takes to reach the great outdoors, the more you’ll

appreciate Pilot’s special features. In the EX, there’s an available

Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System,2 with a huge store of

maps and information that you’ll fınd useful while travelling. Or, if

you’d like to keep the second- and

third-row passengers in your EX

happily occupied, opt for the Honda

DVD Entertainment System.2 It can

play DVD movies or music CDs,

and also has video-game capabilities,

helping to ensure that restless road

trips become a thing of the past.

meet nature on your terms

Give them complete control – or not. The available Honda DVD Entertainment

System can be operated using the hand-held remote control. Cool, that makes things

easy. Or it can be operated using the front or rear controls. Great, that

adds convenience. And then there are the two sets of wireless,

infrared headphones for the rear passengers, with jacks for wired

headphones also provided. This allows the front-seat occupants

to enjoy a separate audio program, while those in back are using

the DVD system. So no matter how far your journey, everyone will

be thoroughly entertained.

Let the entertainment begin. Why leave it at home when you can bring it, using

the Pilot’s integrated Honda DVD Entertainment System with remote, which is

available on the EX model.2 With this state-of-the-art, multi-purpose system, the second-

and third-row passengers can enjoy their favorite programs on DVD wherever they go. Or

listen to music CDs. Or, by plugging a gaming system into the convenient console jacks,

they can play video games that are displayed overhead on the flip-down 7" color screen.

Or do you prefer to be well-informed?

Then go for the EX’s available Honda Satellite-

Linked Navigation System.2 In addition to its

guidance function, it can locate the nearest listed

ATM, gas station or even restaurant by cuisine.

All told, its DVD-based memory stores over 3.7

million places for you to visit in your Pilot.

Got places to go? Of course you do. And the available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System will not

only show you how to get there on a flat 6" color touch-screen display, but voice prompts will guide you

there, too. The latest electronics, signals from global positioning system (GPS) satellites and an onboard inertial

guidance system pinpoint your exact location, then track your progress as you drive to your destination virtually

anywhere in the continental United States. The system’s database is stored on a 4.7-gigabyte DVD and

features detailed maps of most major U.S. metropolitan areas.* And if you go to an area not in the database, such

as an off-road camping site, the screen displays electronic “bread crumbs” to help you retrace your way.

*Only major streets, roads and highways are mapped outside major metropolitan areas. See navigation system owner’s manual for the current detailed coverage areas.

Power is good, especially in your hands. And Pilot serves up a

massive dose of it for you to tap into. So go ahead. Unleash that

power to do what you’ve always dreamed about doing. Climb that

mountain, tow that boat, take your family or friends on a vacation

they’ll never forget. Knowing it’s a Honda, you can go in complete

confıdence. With the horsepower you need to get the job done.

Produce old-fashioned power the new-fashioned way. Honda produces more engines annually

than any other automaker in the world. And they drew on this vast engineering know-how to build a smarter, more

responsible engine. Even as Pilot’s 3.5-liter, 24-valve, aluminum-alloy V-6 pumps out power, it still burns clean

enough to be rated as either a Low-Emission Vehicle (LEV) or, for specified models, as an Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle

(ULEV). Superb engineering, coupled with refined electronics like its PGM-FI programmed fuel-injection and

direct ignition systems, lets it provide excellent fuel economy 5 and go 105,000 miles before its first scheduled

tune-up.* Yet, when equipped for towing, Pilot has the brawn to tow up to 4,500 lbs.6

You don’t win by making excuses.

The world of racing is notoriously unforgiving,

and if you don’t bring your absolute best to the

track, you won’t be there for the checkered flag.

Honda has been involved in professional motor-

sports for over 50 years. And in that time, we’ve

garnered more than 70 Formula One Grand

Prix wins and over 50 CART victories.

All the wins and trophies are nice, of course, but

we get something more important out of racing.

Competing in motorsports helps develop

our technology and train our engineers.

It makes them think creatively and respond

quickly to pressure. It helps them devise new

solutions to old problems. And later, they apply

those same lessons to designing exciting new

vehicles for you, like the new Honda Pilot. Most

certainly a win-win situation.

VTEC™ makes it even sweeter. Whether you’re getting

ready for a cross-country jaunt or just out running errands, the

Pilot uses more advanced technology to get you there. Its innova-

tive VTEC (variable valve timing and lift electronic control)

system has two different sets of lobes on its single overhead

camshaft (SOHC). The low-lift camshaft lobes help time delivery of the air/fuel

charge and swirl it to make more low-end torque with fewer emissions, resulting in pulling

power right off the line. As engine rpms rise, VTEC switches to the second set of camshaft lobes.

These high-lift lobes now allow each cylinder to fill more quickly and with a larger supply of air

and fuel for more power at higher rpm.

Its muscle will definitely move you.

The Pilot’s VTEC™ V-6 engine produces a potent

240 horsepower and 242 lb.-ft. of torque.

And to get you off to a good start every time,

90% of this power is available at just 2000 rpm,

with full engine power developing shortly after

that all the way up to 5400 rpm. All this power is

channeled to a very refined 5-speedautomatic

transmission that provides fast and smooth

shifts at all engine speeds. Its smart Grade Logic

Control programming reduces gear hunting when

driving up and down hills, for more occupant

comfort. And a low 1st gear adds extra pulling

power, while a high 5th gear provides more

highway fuel economy.5

If going off-road* is on your wish list, Pilot can help make that

happen. Its sophisticated Variable Torque Management 4-wheel-

drive system (VTM-4T) is completely automatic and dedicated

to being there when you need it most. There are no levers or

locking hubs to engage. If the system detects the possibility of

wheel slippage during acceleration, it instantly provides 4-wheel

drive. So you can keep going and concentrate on your driving,

not on whether you need to engage the system. Which makes

driving on-or off-road a lot more enjoyable. See what the extra

traction of 4-wheel drive can do for you, wet, dry or snowy.

answer the call of the wild in person

Feel what it’s like off-road. Get out there and give yourself, and

everyone else, a thrill. Only you need to know that the VTM-4 system is

already busy, proactively applying 4-wheel drive so you can keep on going.

And if you’re in deep mud or snow, the rear differential can be manually

locked using the VTM-4LockT feature. With 8.0"of ground clearance and

P235/70 R16 mud-and-snow tires, you’ll find that the Pilot is very capable

off-road, while still providing a great ride, as the suspension is tuned to

control body motions. The rigid body resists twisting and bending, and a

hefty steel plate beneath the body helps protect the fuel tank from damage.

*Honda reminds you to “TreadLightly!®”

[4] VTM-4 ECU. Based on the data sent to it, the VTM-4 ECU processes

these signals and uses that information to determine if wheel slippage is

impending. If that condition is detected, the ECU calculates how much power

to send to the rear wheels and immediately signals the rear differential. It then

proactively applies 4-wheel drive, so you have additional

traction before the front driving wheels slip. And when the VTM-4 ECU senses

that a normal level of traction has returned, it automatically disengages

4-wheel drive, so you can also save fuel.

[5] Rear Differential Unit. Inside this unique rear differential unit are two clutches

that are electronically controlled by the VTM-4 ECU. When these electromagnetic clutches

are off, they allow the rear wheels to freewheel for more fuel economy. When the

clutches are engaged by the ECU, power is transmitted to the rear wheels and they

work with the front wheels to provide 4-wheel drive. And by carefully varying the

activation of these clutches, the ECU can smoothly and seamlessly engage the Pilot’s

4-wheel-drive system to help provide optimum traction at all times, whether driving on

a hard city street or a winding country dirt road.

[1] Front Differential. Engine power is channeled through the

transmission directly to the front differential, which then supplies

power to the front wheels. As a result, on roads with a good level of

traction, the Pilot normally operates as a front -wheel-drive vehicle

to help provide maximum fuel economy.4

[2] Center Propeller Shaft. The versatile front differential also supplies power

to the rear differential through a center propeller shaft, which has a special damper

to reduce vibration. While this shaft constantly transmits power to the rear

differential, the rear differential does not power the rear wheels until signaled by the

VTM-4 system’s electronic control unit, or ECU.

[3] 4-Wheel-Drive System Sensors.

Multiple electronic sensors provide a continu-

ously updated stream of information on

road and vehicle conditions to the ABS and

engine ECUs. These computers, in turn, forward

this data to the sophisticated VTM-4 ECU.

Think of a sports sedan that’s able to go on-

or off-road. One whose immensely rigid

body stays quiet over the roughest

terrain and forms an unyielding platform

for the 4-wheel independent suspension to

soak up bumps and dips. Honda Progressive Valve (HPV) shock

absorbers and front and rear stabilizer bars help ensure a smooth ride

and excellent handling. Variable power-assist rack-and-pinion steering

positively connects you to the road through big P235/70 R16 tires,

mounted on 16" wheels (alloys on EX models). Strong 4-wheel disc

brakes make short work

of stopping, and a refıned anti-lock braking system (ABS) with Electronic

Brake Distribution (EBD) modulates braking power to help you retain

steering control while braking hard, especially on slippery surfaces.

Become more independent. When the road

gets rough, that’s where the virtues of the Pilot’s

4-wheel independent suspension really shine.

This tough, yet very refined, front strut and

rear multi-link suspension takes what the road

dishes out in stride, whether paved or unpaved,

while still providing a smooth, car-like ride with

excellent handling. And its wide track is designed

to provide an extra measure of stability.enjoy the curves because you can

See what you’re missing. For a

panoramic view, the Pilot provides a

sweeping 282° of outward visibility.

Bright halogen headlights light up the road

and help increase your visibility to other

drivers, as do large taillights and brake-

lights. Variable-intermittent front wipers can

be adjusted to suit driving conditions, and a

rear wiper helps keep a clear view behind.

Pilot’s strong unit body was designed, tested and built to meet the

most stringent government crash-test standards. In the event of a

collision, front and rear crush zones help protect

by absorbing impact energy, as do the sturdy steel door beams in

a side impact. Specially designed 5-mph bumpers are more

compatible with the height of most passenger-car

bumpers, making them friendlier to cars as

they also help protect you. Of course,

its 4-wheel-drive system and anti-lock

braking system (ABS) can help maintain

traction and steering control in poor driving

conditions. And to help protect your Pilot while it’s parked, there’s

a standard electronic Immobilizer Theft-Deterrent System.

Make safety part of the family. It’s comforting to know that inside Pilot, there are three-point seat belts and

head restraints at all eight seating positions, with the second- and third-row restraints being adjustable.

Supplemental protection for the driver and front passenger is provided by standard front and side airbags.*

The front airbags are a dual-stage, dual-threshold design that uses sensor data to deploy at one of two rates or

thresholds, based on impact severity and seat-belt usage. Kids have their own protection with the LATCH (Lower

Anchors and Tethers for Children) mounting system, which is provided at the second-row outboard seating

positions, for use with compatible child seats. Child-seat tether anchors are also built into the third row.

there’ll always be a newroad

Spoil yourself, not the planet. All Honda models

have been engineered with a keen awareness of their impact

on the environment. Every new Honda meets or exceeds the

Low-Emission Vehicle (LEV) standards in all 50 states.

In addition to that, 90% of the Pilot’s parts are recyclable.

And long-life coolant and engine oil, solvent-free paints and

lead-free materials help make it even more environmentally

friendly. Honda asks that you likewise respect the environment,

and if you go off-road, remember to “Tread Lightly!R”

on public and private land. You see, Honda’s commitment to

putting the Earth first is steadfast, and you can rest assured

we’ll be out front when tomorrow comes.
